This should help cut down Duncan minutes.

Yea, although the minutes didn't seem to have a negative effect on Duncan last year as he was basically the MVP of the Clips series. I think relegating Timmy to 22-27 mins a game will definitely pay dividends though.

Ginobili having to play the big minutes in December and January had him worn down. Parker was out of shape too. That's why keeping Green and Mills are big. Hopefully, the Spurs find more back court help. They just had to get rid of Corey Joseph.

Spurs need a center to bang about 5-18 mins a game cos Splitter and Baynes are gone. But no doubt the Spurs are stacked at the 4 with Duncan, Aldridge, Diaw and West.

I don't see anyone beating them next year in the playoffs, providing they all stay healthy.

They have their weaknesses; but they definitely are the favorites on paper at this point.

Either way, I don't see GS repeating.

I can't see the Warriors repeating either. They are could regular season but we saw how Memphis, who will be better this next year and the Cavs that had only Lebron kept them on the ropes.

Cavs in the East, Spurs in the West, but the West will have the Warriors, the Rockets, the Grizzlies and the Thunder that will compete with the Spurs.

Warriors would have likely lost to the Spurs in a playoff series. They probably would have had the edge on the Clippers; but it was still a gift that they didn't have to play them either. And they really didn't play a great series in any of their series. The one man show almost took them to seven games in the championship series.

People made a big deal out of their regular season prowess; but there's a lot of bad teams for a young run and gun team to beat up on. It's different when you get to the playoffs and things get more physical. Everything fell perfectly for the Warriors this season. Odds of lightning striking twice are not that high.

West will be tough. That's what'll make the one seed huge. Whatever team gets it will feel like they have a big advantage.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

somebody here must feel pretty stupid now in their rants that the Rams arent coming back to LA. ,that kroneke made that land purchase merely only for "i love this word." LEVERAGE.

here,let me give you a kleenix to wipe the egg off your face.

LEVERAGE? oh really? is that why Kronke is not even trying to get something done in st louis,not returning phone calls from the governor there,is that why the Rams reached a verbal agreement with USC to use their facility for the next couple years while construction starts in Inglewood in december,is that why the NFL is discussing with USC and UCLA about using one of their facilities for the next couple years till the stadium is ready because Kroneke wants to stay in st louis because its all for LEVERAGE?


NFL pursues plans for temporary venues in L.A. market for 2016 season - LA Times


I'm seriously beginning to wonder if you really even live in california like you claim the fact you make untrue statements that people dont bat an eye out there on the Rams coming back and the fact you are sounding like the people in st louis who are in denial they are leaving.the fact that you have this delusion they are staying like they do in st louis.


Even this poster at keep the rams in st louis named randy dimwiddle who LA fans rightfully so refer to as randy dimwit recently posted this at that site after seeing that article.even some of the st louis people now see the light and are awake they are as good as gone after this season. this is what he posted at that site-Mr. Dimwit is starting to finally see the light. I guess he couldn't get anyone to distribute his SL Rams posters.

Randy Dimwiddle-Looks like we are wasting a lot of time on the Rams.If they want to leave,we need to show them the door.


oh and I guess the words of Coach John Robinson mean nothing to you either?



the ONLY question that still remains,is will the chargers join the Rams.


John Robinson entire family been in the know since last year. Rams reached out to the family to do repair PR when they come back. Also its known coaches have looked for homes out in the LA basin. To even make this better Rams have let go of PR and marketing ppl in STL while they are in hiring process of those same slots in LA. Bet your bottom dollar this is happening in 2016.

I want to make this perfectly clear that I don't care one bit about your obsession with the Rams moving to LA or not. But if the Rams move to LA and fire Fischer and hire John Robinson as their coach, I'm in.

Yeah I know you dont care.Just enjoy debunking that garbage you rambled on about that nobody in LA bats an eye about them coming back and that old tiresome LEVERAGE fantasy you were sprouting about that only a few deluded souls in st louis still think it is.

only the delusional STILL thought it was for LEVERAGE-"love that word,makes me roll out of my seat laughing."after kroneke said he was building a stadium in LA for a pro football team in february.

even in st louis they are finally accepting reality they are gone and not renewing season tickets with a dropff of 20% the fact they know they are as good as gone.

they dont even care in st louis if they leave either.

meanwhile in san diego,they had more season ticket purchases, an increase and in oakland,no increase but no dropoff either remaining the same.if they bring the chargers to join them in a couple years like robinson is talking about "and no reason not to believe him" then thats further proof the NFL is corrupt as an institution.the chargers will flop there just as the raiders did yet they are too stupid to understand that and worse,dont seem to care.

it should be just the Rams but the NFL dont care about doing the right and wise thing though.**** the NFL.I'll stick to the classic LA Rams games if they do this.getting sick of these greedy selfish owners leaving anytime they want giving their fans the middle finger except in the case of the Rams of course because a wrong is being righted and st louis laughed at the fans in LA when they lost the Rams.oh my the karma.hee hee.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

Not to keep harping on this but since i back up what i say with cold hard facts like the one i mentioned of The Rams not even talking to the city of st louis about getting a new stadium.here it what I am talking about.see i dont ignore cold hard facts unlike you.

Unlike the Rams, the Chargers are talking to their current home city.
Los Angeles St. Louis San Diego NFL Situations All In Flux As 2015 Season Nears - Turf Show Times

See the Raiders and Chargers unlike the Rams,are at LEAST talking to their cities about getting a new stadium done. But the Rams are not even talking to st louis on trying to get something done because its all for I love that word-LEVERAGE.

So now is Jordan leaving the Clips? The is a mess and the implications of the Clips actions could have long lasting effects. Most league officials say the Clips are breaking an unwritten rule. Strange story.

Definitely a bush league move by the Clips....They're taking an advantage of loophole in the rules.

But it's the difference between championship contention and a first or second round exit....

Jeremy Lin should be out of the league in two years

 

[Papageorgio]

Lin will be around awhile, he is a good role player. He can't carry a team but he helps fill a need off the bench.

Lin's a marketable role player. He'll be in the league for as long as he doesn't completely suck.

Celtics have stake in Jordan outcome NBA.com Hang Time Blog with Sekou Smith

Jordan isn t first player to waffle over verbal agreement NBA.com

 

[Papageorgio]

Jordan going back on his word really screws teams up. First Dallas thought they had a center and had set the money aside for him.

Other teams also made decisions based on what They thought were done deals.

It's a bad deal all the way around.
